FAQs
What does '5000mm waterproof' mean?
A 5000mm rating means the fabric can withstand the pressure of a 5000mm (approximately 5 meters) column of water before leaking. This indicates good protection against moderate to heavy rain.
What does '5000mvp breathable' mean?
MVP stands for Moisture Vapor Transmission rate. A 5000mvp rating means that 5000 grams of moisture vapor can pass through a square meter of the fabric in 24 hours. This signifies moderate breathability.
How do I pack the jacket into its pouch?
Turn the jacket inside out, find the small pouch attached usually near the hem or collar, and begin stuffing the jacket into it, working from the extremities inwards until fully compressed.
Can this jacket be used for intense sports?
While it offers windproof and waterproof protection, its moderate breathability might not be ideal for very high-intensity activities where significant perspiration occurs. It's better suited for moderate-paced activities.
What colors and sizes are available?
The Qikpac jacket is available in multiple colors including Black, Red, Royal Blue, Green, Cerise, and Sky Blue. Sizes range from XS to XXL.
Is this jacket suitable for cold weather?
The jacket provides wind and water protection, which helps retain body heat. However, it is a shell layer and does not offer insulation. For cold weather, layering with warm clothing underneath is recommended.
Troubleshooting
Jacket feels damp inside after prolonged use in heavy rain.
While rated waterproof, extreme or prolonged saturation may lead to some moisture penetration. Ensure all zippers are fully closed and consider if the activity level generated significant internal condensation due to moderate breathability.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move.
Gently try to move the zipper. If it persists, apply a small amount of wax (like a candle or lip balm) to the zipper teeth. Ensure the fabric is not caught in the zipper.
Packaway pouch is lost.
The jacket can still be folded and rolled tightly to fit into a small bag or pocket. Alternatively, a small dry bag can serve as a replacement pouch.
